Today marks the first day of summer vacation. Yesterday, B said farewell to kindergarten. I’m looking forward to having him home with us throughout the weekdays for a bit. I have a feeling the next two months are, unfortunately, going to pass by in the blink of an eye. Between our mini vacation next week, […]
For the last few years, my husband and I have steadily moved away from store bought gifts at Christmas and towards hand made gifts. This year will be no different. We have a few store bought things (mainly for each other and the kiddos in our lives, plus a few off the wall gifts, like […]
When I said I was done decorating for Thanksgiving, apparently I lied. My son and I were looking for Christmas embroidery and print ideas when we stumbled across this pumpkin design. It was a quick and easy project, which is good considering a week from now, I’ll have Christmas decorations out.
It’s done! I finally bought ribbon to string my “Thankful” banner together, and my Thanksgiving/fall mantel is finally done. And with the exception of a small embroidery piece, my fall decorating is complete. About time, too. Two more weeks and it all comes down for the Christmas stuff! So this was my first year to decorate […]
At the end of October, I made a list of all the Thanksgiving/fall decor I wanted to do. I think there’s eight or nine items on the list. I’ve slowly made my way through the list hoping to finish my projects before Thanksgiving comes and goes and it’s time to bust […]
A while ago, I pinned decorating Dollar Store mugs with a sharpie and have been itching to try it out. With my husband’s birthday coming up this week, I figured now was just as good as any time to try the project out. The hubs is a coffee connoisseur. His birthday/Christmas list, as it […]
One of my favorite things to do is shop for holiday decorations after the holiday has come and gone when everything is on clearance for 70-90%. That’s exactly what I did today. I sadly didn’t walk out of the store with the major haul I was hoping to, but I spent four dollars and […]
My mom and I both have a deep love of all things Halloween. We seemed to develop it simultaneously when I was about 14 or so. It’s become our tradition to add to each other’s Halloween decor stash each year for birthdays/Christmas, and this year will be no exception. My mom’s birthday is perfect for […]
My son is definitely my child. He has my same deep affinity for capes, robots, space, art and books. When he was three, my half sister gave him a dragon cape. He wears it routinely still. I’ve stitched up many holes and rips on that thing. He “writes” his own books (he dictates and illustrates […]
7:15am. A time I typically think of bedtime. Now, my new wake up time on my off days. Ouch. Today was B’s much anticipated first day of kindergarten. When I went to wake him this morning, I found him sitting straight up in his bed with a huge, cheesy grin on his face. ”Is it […]
